What does one say?? I am a Widower, I am a single dad -- and a damn good one. My Daughter is 11yrs old and she lives with me always, she is an absolutely great kid with a truly good heart. I am Building Contractor, and i love my Job...... However, I'm at that juncture where I'm evaluating what I want to do over the next half of my life and with whom. What is my ideal relationship? Being with a lady-faire who is confident and secure in herself, what she wants, and with whom she needs. Being kind to each other for no other reason than why would we choose to be otherwise? Being comfortable with my lady-faire; being able to express myself, my feelings, my thoughts without concern of my being judged too harshly. And providing her the same respect. Being able to admire and desire and think of her constantly, because why would I choose not to? My ideal relationship relies on open communication and lots of it. I want to be able to have a healthy argument. A no-kidding no-holds-barred disagreement and be able to walk away knowing that regardless of the outcome we love each other without question and that we will love each other without question tomorrow and the next day. My ideal relationship requires holding hands. It means when standing next to her in a crowded room, that every person there knows that I ADORE her merely by the way I stand next to her, look upon her, and I want them to be envious because they wish they had such love in their lives. In my ideal relationship, I fall asleep with my leg touching hers, listening to her breathing, feeling her warmth, and know that in the morning I will awake and kiss her on the forehead. Kindness. Openness. True caring. And lots of laughter...........
